Despicable Me: Minion Rush lands on BlackBerry 10

I've been waiting for this bad boy to hit BlackBerry 10 for a while now, so needless to say I won't have a very productive afternoon. Despicable Me: Minion Rush is now available for all BlackBerry 10 devices and it's totally free.

If you haven't seen it before, it's essentially a running game where you run, jump, dodge obstacles and defeat villains on your way to victory. You can customize your cute little Minion with costumes and weapons as well to make him your own.

Features include:

Rediscover the heart & humor of Despicable Me

Run through fun, iconic locations: Gru's Lab and Gru's Residential Area

Perform despicable acts through hundreds of missions

Customize your Minion with unique costumes, weapons, and power-ups

Play the game from multiple dynamic camera angles

If you have a Z10, Q10, Q5 or Z30 you have no excuse not to download this one ASAP - so get to it!!

Ice actually been anxiously anticipating this app since I read about it coming! I know a lot of people are slowly losing faith(if they haven't already gone) but I KNOWWW that with games like this that will fill the void for things like Temple Run and Subway Surf until those games drop! I played this a few times on my gfs phone and almost instantly got hooked! I'm still hopeful to see games like Simpsons Tapped Out, Song Pop, Candy Crush and Temple Run to drop! Those are the only games we're missing but I ain't even mad with the selection we already have! Thank you SO much BlackBerry for bringing this app to BB10! It is so addicting and so very fun to play! #KeepMoving #TeamBlackBerry #BB10Swag #BlackBerryGang #Z10

Like Windows Phone, given enough time virtually all the good apps will be available on BB10. This is one I was going to sideload but I don't need to anymore. Before you know it we'll be getting things in real time like other platforms.

Been playing this for past couple of months on my Android devices. Was happy to see this for BB10, but installed and disappointed...
- no beach area from the recent Android update
- Android version currently has a Halloween themed residential area
- they jacked up the price on some costumes (Mom was available for 150,000 bananas, ie. no coins needed, and Firefighter was 550 coins or so but 1,200 for BB10)
- it looks like they only included BBM integration, but that means you won't be able to play with most of your friends on other platforms (which uses FB integration)

Edit: Because of lack of FB integration, you're also excluded from the weekly challenges where you can earn bonus bananas...

Awesome, a little jerky in spots .. but definitely playable. Hopefully it gets patched soon or maybe it runs more fluid in 10.2. Definitely better than my kid's ipod touch v5 which has slow constant framerates throughout the game. In many areas this game runs way smoother on my z10 than on her ipod.

Update: Just installed it on my kid's q5 and it's running buttery smooth with zero lag. I also installed the 10.2 leak her device which I can only surmised that even with the slower processor the updated Android runtime player is really well optimized to the fast running framerates.

I hate that I don't have 10.2 on my z10.. Work won't let me install it :(

Wow, they made it free... I'm truly impressed. I actually feel honored... I side loaded this app but I didn't have any audio so I deleted it. now that it's native, I cannot wait to play. Thank you CB for posting this and Thank you Devs for supporting BlackBerry!!!!

Great game! Just removed the sideloaded one and downloaded it straight from app world! Happy to see this here can't wait for many more! Lots of apps have been coming to the platform recently it's awesome!

"A disproportionate amount of these missions are connected with the game's social features, such as recruiting your friends, beating their scores, issuing challenges, and so on. You can skip any mission using tokens, but it will use anywhere from six to ten days' worth of them to do so. This basically means that unless you're willing to spend real money on tokens, you're going to have to harass your friends if you want to raise your multiplier much past the first couple of levels."http://toucharcade.com/2013/06/28/despicable-me-minion-rush-review/

Glad to see so many apps coming to the BB10 platform. Certainly a lot faster than we saw on the PlayBook. Yes it's mostly games, but if the crowd shows up I'm sure the big boys will decide to develop their "tools" too.
